FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INTESTINAL PHASE OF GASTRIC SECRETION

Abstract
Isotonic solns. of proteose ("Bactoprotone"), amino acids or NaCl failed to elicit secretion of gastric juice in fasting dogs when administered into the intestine in the absence of bile. Bile alone was also without effect. A moderate amt. of gastric secretion was obtained after a latent period of from 1-2 hrs. when "Bactoprotone" mixed with bile or hypertonic solns. of amino acids or NaCl were placed in the intestine. Previous observations that bile in the stomach causes secretion of gastric juice were confirmed.
